Robert Duncan McNeill stars as Starfleet Lieutenant Tom Paris, a man
descended from a proud family of Starfleet legends, on UPN's popular
"Star Trek: Voyager."

McNeill has most recently added "director" to his list of credits,
having made his directorial debut on a "Star Trek: Voyager" episode
entitled "Sacred Ground" - the first of the series' ensemble cast to step
behind the camera as an episodic director. His effort was so successful
that he was subsequently chosen to direct "Unity," a momentous episode
which introduced the Borg on "Star Trek: Voyager."

Born in North Carolina and raised in Washington, D.C., McNeill's family
finally settled in Atlanta, GA. After attending a local high school,
McNeill decided to move to New York City to become an actor. After a
number of chorus roles and small parts, he enrolled in The Juilliard
School, where he spent two years studying the trade.

While attending Juilliard, McNeill was cast as Charlie Brent on the
popular daytime drama "All My Children." From 1984 through 1986, McNeill
became a favorite in the world of daytime soaps, his efforts earning him
a Daytime Emmy nomination. During this time, he also produced and starred
in an off-Broadway play, and starred in the science fiction feature film
"Masters Of The Universe," alongside Dolph Lundgren, Courteney Cox and
Frank Langella.

After leaving "All My Children," McNeill landed a starring role in the
national touring production of Stephen Sondheim's hit Broadway musical
"Into The Woods." He returned to New York to appear in numerous on and
off-Broadway productions. While there, he and his wife, Carol founded
Real Play Productions, an organization that provides inner-city school
children with creative ways of dealing with crises.

His favorite and perhaps most memorable performance was in Lincoln
Center's production of "Six Degrees of Separation." McNeill played the
role of Rick, a kid from Utah whose suicide is the turning point of
the play.

McNeill's television credits include guest starring roles on "Star
Trek: The Next Generation"; "L.A. Law"; "Quantum Leap"; and "Murder,
She Wrote" - and a starring role in "Going To Extremes." He was also
cast as a recurring character on "Homefront," and then won a role on
"Second Chances," with Connie Sellecca. He appeared as Romeo in "Romeo
and Juliet" at the Ford Theater and earned a Drama-Logue Award as Best
Actor for that performance.

In addition to his work on "Star Trek: Voyager," McNeill continues
to pursue his interests behind the scenes and is developing television
and film projects to produce and direct.

McNeill and his wife Carol reside in Los Angeles with their three
children, eight-year-old daughter Taylor, four-year-old son Kyle and
newborn son Carter.
